DESIGN
This Persephone Mirror features a rustic and natural design, characterized by its irregular shape and rough edges. Inspired by an organic and artisanal style, the frame of the mirror mimics the texture of travertine marble in its rawest state, giving it a unique and distinctive appearance. The curved, asymmetrical lines of the edge offer an interesting contrast with the smooth, polished surface of the mirror, creating a visual balance between the natural and the sophisticated. This design can be described as "rustic contemporary," as it merges natural elements with modern functionality. The travertine brings a warm, earthy tone that easily integrates into a variety of decors, whether minimalist, bohemian, or even industrial. As a tabletop mirror, it adds a touch of elegance and character to any space, whether on a vanity, desk, or entryway.
QUALITY
The quality of this tabletop mirror is outstanding, crafted from genuine travertine marble, known for its strength and durability. The finishes are intentionally irregular to highlight the natural beauty of the marble, while being carefully worked to avoid any uncomfortable roughness to the touch. The mirror is perfectly fitted into the frame, offering a clear and sharp reflective surface. The base of the mirror is solid and stable, ensuring it stands firm on any surface. Despite its rustic appearance, great attention to detail has been given in its craftsmanship, guaranteeing a high-quality product.
MATERIALS
The mirror is made from authentic travertine marble, a natural stone appreciated for its beauty and longevity. This material is both durable and easy to clean, requiring just a damp cloth to maintain its pristine appearance. The porous nature of travertine has been adequately sealed to protect it against stains and moisture, which also makes it easier to maintain. The mirror surface is made of high-quality glass, ensuring a clear reflection. The combination of travertine marble and glass provides a contrast of textures that enhances the distinctive character of the piece.
Travertine marble is a natural stone of sedimentary origin, primarily composed of calcium carbonate deposits that precipitate from water, typically in environments such as hot springs, caves, or rivers. This rock, known for its porous texture and unique appearance, comes in a range of colors from white and cream to shades of brown, gold, and reddish hues, depending on the mineral impurities present during its formation. Its name derives from the term "lapis tiburtinus," referring to the city of Tibur, now known as Tivoli, near Rome, where the Romans have extracted this stone since ancient times.
Travertine is appreciated for its versatility and unique characteristics, such as its porous texture and resistance to extreme weather conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This stone is lighter and easier to work with than other types of marble, allowing its use in a wide range of architectural applications, from decorative elements to monumental structures. Travertine marble is particularly famous for its use in the Roman Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, and many other iconic constructions of Roman and Renaissance architecture.
The extraction process begins with geological surveys to determine the quality and extent of the deposits, followed by the removal of the surface material and the extraction of blocks using controlled drilling and explosives. The extracted travertine is then transported to processing facilities where it is cut into slabs and subjected to various finishes, such as polished, honed, or aged, which enhance its natural beauty and versatility.
